There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Benson to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
