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

There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Elkton to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help look for a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.

Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
