There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Bartow to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy 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 simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that should be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for help look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
