There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in South Boston to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that should be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
