There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Key West to receive help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, 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 commonly suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that should be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for help look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, and a 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 thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed 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 recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
