Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Elba, NY.

There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Elba to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health conditions that must be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help should find a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
