There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Olive Branch to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, 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 very first step. A thorough evaluation 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 in the first place. A thorough recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
