There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Bronson to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health issues that should be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for help should find a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
