There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Fairview to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for help look for a facility that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, where a medically 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 conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often 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.
