There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Smithfield 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 prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often have other physical and psychological health conditions 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.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
