There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Mount Sterling to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
