There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Ladysmith to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment should find a facility that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, 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 first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
