There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Elizabethport to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
