There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Elcho to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for help should find a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, 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 psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
