There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Milbridge to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health conditions that must be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment should find a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
