There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Dunedin to receive professional 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 problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that should be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for help should find a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
