There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Millington to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, where a safe detoxification 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 complete evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
