There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Marblehead to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism 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 commonly suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that should be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help should find a facility that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, 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 first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
