There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Forest to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. 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 have other physical and psychological health ailments that must be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation 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 driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
