There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Southbridge to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
