There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Jasper to get treatment for addiction so that they can live 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 issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
