There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Seward to receive help for addiction so that they can 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 alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that must be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment look for a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
