There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Winchester to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled 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 address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
