There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Ripley to get help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
