There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Andrews to receive 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 problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for treatment should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
