There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Sheffield to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for treatment should find a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
