There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Colchester to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder 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 abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors often have other physical and psychological health issues that must be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
