Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Shelby, MS.

There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Shelby to receive help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment should find a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, and a safe detoxification 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 comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
