There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Medford to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they 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 target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
