There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Grundy to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health ailments that should be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help should find a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
