There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Salem to get help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for help look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
