There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Peru to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed 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 comprehensive recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
