There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Corbin to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, and a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
