There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Reston to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health ailments that should be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for help look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
