There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Maitland to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, 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 first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
