There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Marshfield to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation center, where a safe detox from alcohol and any 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 psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
