There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Franklin to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that seniors often have other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person 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 conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
