There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Montevideo to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and mental health conditions that should be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment should find a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful 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 comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
