There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Denmark to receive 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 prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that must be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for help look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment center, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
