There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Fort Kent to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that must be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
