There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Waterville to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment should find a rehab program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment center, where a medically 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 mental 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 comprehensive treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
