There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Freeport to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
