There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Emmitsburg to receive help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that should be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment center, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
