There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Virginia Beach to get treatment 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 addiction issues 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 simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that must be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for help look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly 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.
