There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Jefferson to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
