There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Purvis to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that must be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
