There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Rocky Mount to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. 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 fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a rehab program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse 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 treatment center, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
