There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Covington to receive help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health ailments that must be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
