There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Freeport to receive help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment center, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
