There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Waverly to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health ailments that should be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for help look for a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
