There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in North Port to receive help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment should find a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation 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 complete recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
