There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Burlington to get help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health conditions that should be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment should find a facility that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a safe detox 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 mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
