There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Starkville to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often have other physical and psychological health ailments that must be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for help look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
