There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Hayneville to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for treatment should find a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological health 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. A complete recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
