There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Tazewell to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that should be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, where 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 first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
