There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Harwich to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for addiction help should find a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
