There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Jackson to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment should find a rehab program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
