There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Sterling to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors often have other physical and psychological health issues that should be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, where 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 complete evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
