There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Petersburg to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse problems 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 deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment center, and a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
