There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Hyannis to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally 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 prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person 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 conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
