Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Newton, WI.

There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Newton to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing 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 handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for help should find a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric 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 medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A complete evaluation 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 driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
