There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Machias to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health ailments that should be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation center, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
