There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Hardy to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems 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 at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that should be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment center, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
