There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Boone to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that must be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for help should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment 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 complete recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
