There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Oxford to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that should be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment center, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to 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 addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
