There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Rutherfordton to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that should be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for addiction help look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
