There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Troy to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that must be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
