There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Hyden to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often have other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for help should find a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
