There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Vinton to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
