There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Douglas 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 issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health ailments that should be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation center, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
