There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Chesterfield to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment 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 can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
