There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Brandon to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
