There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Gainesville to get 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 substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for help should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted 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. An effective treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
