There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Waverly to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in 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 safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
