There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Elfrida to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for help look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
