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

There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Stafford to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
