There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Centerville to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health issues that should be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological health 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 to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
