There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Auburn to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
