There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Marion to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life 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, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that must be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help should find a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment center, and a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
