There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Taunton to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that should be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, and a medically 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 comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
