There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Blacksburg to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
