There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Gainesville to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives 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 simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that should be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
