There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Elizabethtown to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health conditions that should be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough 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. An effective recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
