There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Belfast to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life 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 abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that must be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
