There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Oxford to get help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health conditions that must be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, and 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 first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
