There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Sheridan to receive help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment should find a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any 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 conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
