There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Manassas to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health ailments that must be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a safe detox 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 conditions will be performed so that any issues 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 address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
