There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Andalusia to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and mental health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for help should find a rehab program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
