There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Yarmouth to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
