There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Brookville to receive professional help 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 substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help look for a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
