There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Concord to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health issues that should be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help look for a facility that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health 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 in the first place. An effective treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
