There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Boonville to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
