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

There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Speedwell to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest 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 at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often have other physical and mental health conditions that must be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
