There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Laurel to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
