There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Norwood to get help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues 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 simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that must be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help should find a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
