There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Hopkins to receive 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 healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that must be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
