There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Radcliff to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for help should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
