There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Chantilly to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that must be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
