There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Admire to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health issues that should be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
