There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Medford to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
