There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Shelbyville to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems 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 coupled with the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment center, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
