There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Waverly to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live 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 alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
