There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Olla to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for help should find a facility that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment program, and 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 first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted 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 comprehensive treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
