There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Medford to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often have other physical and mental health conditions that should be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
