There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in West Springfield to receive help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
