There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Saco to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder 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 instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health ailments that must be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
