There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Silver Springs to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for help should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
