There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Wellington to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for help look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation 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 first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
