There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Beverly to get help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors 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 facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
