There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Springfield to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
