There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Perry to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors often have other physical and psychological health conditions that must be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
