There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Eutaw to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a rehab program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
