There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Douglas to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health issues that should be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for help should find a rehab program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, 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 complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
