There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Oxford to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that must be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for help look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
