There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Palm Harbor to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, where a 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 evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
