There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Annandale to receive help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health conditions that must be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
