There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Poplar Bluff to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
