There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Clarksville to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life 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, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often have other physical and mental health conditions that must be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a facility that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential 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 evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
