Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Akron, NY.

There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Akron to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
