There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Staples to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that must be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for help should find a facility that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment program, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
