There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Selmer to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health ailments that must be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for help should find a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
