There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Christiansburg to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that must be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
