There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Murray to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health ailments that should be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for help look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
