There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Kirwin to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that should be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for help look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
