There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Oakdale to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that must be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment look for a rehab program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detox 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 often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
