There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in South Paris to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that should be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for help should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
