There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Winchester to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
