Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Richwoods, MO.

There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Richwoods to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health issues that should be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for addiction help look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
