There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Sanford to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health conditions that must be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment should find a facility that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
