There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Amherst to receive help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a facility that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted 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 comprehensive recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
