There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Cluster Springs to receive help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that must be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive 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 to begin with. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
