Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - St. Louis, OK.

There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in St. Louis 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 abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that must be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment program, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
