There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Vinita to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
