There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Tupelo to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that must be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
