There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Barnesville to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that must be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help should find a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, where a medically safe detox 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 evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
