There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Miami to receive 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 prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that must be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete 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 cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
