There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Falmouth to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
