There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Holden to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally 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 deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that must be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
