There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Mount Dora to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that should be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for help should find a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
