There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Charlottesville to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that should be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for help look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
