There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Opp to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and mental health ailments that should be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
