There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Williamsburg to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health issues that should be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for help look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
