There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in St. James to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that should be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment look for a facility that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
