There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Woodbridge to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often have other physical and mental health ailments that should be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help should find a facility that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
