There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Amery to receive help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that should be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for help should find a rehab program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment center, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
