There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Prentiss to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health issues that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a facility that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment center, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
