There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Chase to receive 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 alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that seniors often have other physical and psychological health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help should find a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
