There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Provincetown to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and mental health issues that must be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for help should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
