There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Union to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health conditions that should be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
