There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Lake Buena Vista to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors often suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that must be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help look for a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
