There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Elizabethtown to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that seniors commonly 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 provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
