There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Leesburg to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems 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 at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
