There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Meridian to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and psychological health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
