There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Gardner to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors often have other physical and psychological health conditions that must be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment should find a rehab program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
