There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Fairfax to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction 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 at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment should find a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
