There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Lowville to get professional 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 common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that must be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a rehab program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any 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 conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
