There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Framingham to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive 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 driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
