There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Winnsboro to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically 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 abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that must be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment look for a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed 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 comprehensive treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
