Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Chincoteague Island, VA.

There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Chincoteague Island to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and mental health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help should find a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, 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 first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
