There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Winthrop to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation center, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
