There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Holiday to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health ailments that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
