Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Austin, NV.

There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Austin to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that must be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment 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 very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
