There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Medford to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder 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 alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
