There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in King Cove to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
