There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Schoenchen to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that must be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, 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 address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
