There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Girard to receive help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
