There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Liberty to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that must be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
