There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Cabot to receive help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help should find a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities 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 successful in a residential treatment program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to 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 handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
