There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Henderson to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed at the same time, 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 offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
