There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Wareham to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health ailments that should be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
