There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Ulysses to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health ailments that should be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment should find a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
