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

There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Pungoteague to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health conditions that must be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.

Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment center, and a 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 thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
