There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Sheldon to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health issues that should be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
