There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Radium to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for treatment should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment center, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
