There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Acton to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. 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 psychological health conditions that must be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help look for a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment center, and a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
