There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Deerfield Beach to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy 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 prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that must be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
