There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Plymouth to receive professional 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 issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that must be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
