There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Benton Harbor to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems 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 at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that should be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
