There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Madisonville to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment center, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force 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.
