There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Abingdon to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for help look for a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, 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 conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
