There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Clarksdale to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
