Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Richfield, WI.

There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Richfield to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health issues that should be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, where 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 complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
