There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Middlesboro to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that must be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for help look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment center, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
