There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Beersheba Springs to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent 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 simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that must be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment 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 very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
