There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Townsend to get treatment 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 healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for help look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
