There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Mount Holly to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse 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 deadly combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
