There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Fort Walton Beach to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often have other physical and psychological health conditions that must be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for treatment should find a rehab program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any 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 mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
