There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in South Portland to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often have other physical and mental health conditions that must be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for help look for a facility that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, and a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
