There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Middleport to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health conditions that must be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help 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 provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
