There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Rumford to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for help should find a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment 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 in the first place. A thorough recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
