There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Marianna to receive 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 stable as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that must be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detox 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 health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
