There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Pulaski 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 mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
