There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Meridian to get treatment 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 common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for help should find a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
