There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Skowhegan to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that seniors often have other physical and mental health conditions that should be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detox 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 handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
