There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Jacksonville to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that must be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detoxification 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 evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
