There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Dickson to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors often have other physical and psychological health ailments that must be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, where a safe detoxification 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 comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
