There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Avon to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for help should find a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential 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 very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological health 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. A complete recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
