There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Minong to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for help should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental 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. An effective treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
