There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Machias to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, and a medically safe detox 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 psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
