There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Roanoke to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse 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 coupled with the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a 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 mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
