There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Belzoni to get professional 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 stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
