Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Sheridan, MO.

There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Sheridan to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often have other physical and psychological health ailments that must be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
