There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Muncie to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse 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 deadly combination. When added to the reality that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
