There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Kingsport to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for help should find a facility that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
