There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Burke to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help should find a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
