There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Leeds to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person 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 conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
