There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Marion to get help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often have other physical and psychological health ailments that must be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
