There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Madawaska to get help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that should be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a rehab program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
