There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Glen Burnie to get help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that should be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation center, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
