There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Disney to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues 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 dangerous combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for help look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
