There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Pensacola to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that must be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for addiction help should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
