There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Elizabethton to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help look for a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological 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 to begin with. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
