There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Monroe to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health ailments that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for help look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and 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 comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
