There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Norfolk to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that must be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for help should find a facility that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health 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 comprehensive recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
