There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Perryville to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that must be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for treatment should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation center, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
