There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Thomaston to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live 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 issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health ailments that must be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
