Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Springfield, VT.

There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Springfield to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for help should find a program that offers 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 care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed 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 thorough recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
