There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Brandon to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that should be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for help should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
