There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in La Follette to receive help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse problems 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 treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health issues that must be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
