There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Brewer to get professional 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 stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and mental health ailments that must be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, and 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 comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
