There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Perry to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that should be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for help look for a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
