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

There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Sturgeon to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health issues that should be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment look for a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any 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 health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
