There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Feeding Hills to get help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and psychological health ailments that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
