There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Gas to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that should be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
