There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Brookings to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an 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 often have other physical and psychological health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, 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 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 often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
