There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Aberdeen to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for help look for a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
