There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in St. Helens 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 substance abuse problems 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 simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that must be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help should find a rehab program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive assessment 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 to begin with. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
