There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Franklin to receive 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 stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that must be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
