There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Hialeah to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as 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 to begin with. A thorough recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
