There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Bardstown to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often have other physical and mental health ailments that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for help look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment center, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
