There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Shenandoah to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that must be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help should find a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, and a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
