There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Oak Grove to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that must be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for help look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete evaluation 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.
