There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Dutton to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that should be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
