There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Naples to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder 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 alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and psychological health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for help should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
