There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Henderson to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse 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 treacherous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and psychological health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment should find a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very 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 to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
