There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in West Union to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, where a safe detoxification 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 complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
