There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Deland to get help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that seniors often have other physical and psychological health ailments that must be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for help look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
