There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Cookeville to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment program, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
