There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Wiggins to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for help look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
