There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Ellsworth to receive help for addiction so that they can happily 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 problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
