There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Carlisle to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and psychological health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a rehab program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
