There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Rombauer to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy 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 alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, 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 reality that seniors often have other physical and mental health ailments that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
