There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Ocala to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction problems 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 deadly combination. When added to the fact that seniors often have other physical and mental health ailments that must be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for help look for a facility that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
