There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Springfield to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often have other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
