There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Quitman to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health issues that must be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
