There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Portsmouth to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
