There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Chesapeake to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for addiction help should find a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
