There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Middleboro to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for help should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, 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 can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
