There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Gloucester to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often have other physical and mental health conditions that should be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
