There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Oak Bluffs to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help should find a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment center, and a safe detox 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 mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
