Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Sunset Hills, MO.

There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Sunset Hills to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for help look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
