There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Norton to receive help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often have other physical and psychological health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
