There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Bedford to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for help look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on 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 commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
