There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Harlan to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for help should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, and a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
