There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Winchester 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 common substance abuse problems 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 added to the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for addiction help should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, where a safe detoxification 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 comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
