There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Jonesboro to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that should be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for help should find a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
