There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Manchester to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that should be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment should find a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
