There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Carmel to get 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 prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that must be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, and a medically 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 assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
