There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Bainbridge to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health ailments that must be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
