There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Barrow to receive 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 common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
