There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Springfield to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives 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, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors often suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that should be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detoxification 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 complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
