There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Roxbury to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism 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 deadly combination. When added to the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a rehab program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment program, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological 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. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
