There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Quenemo to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and psychological health conditions that should be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete evaluation 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 comprehensive recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
