There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Houlton to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors often have other physical and psychological health issues that should be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment look for a facility that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
