There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Williamston to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that should be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
