There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Franklin to receive help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
