There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Winslow to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that seniors often have other physical and mental health issues that should be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a 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 conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
