There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Aberdeen to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that must be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for help should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force 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.
