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

There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Cheektowaga to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that must be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for help look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
