There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Port St. Lucie to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health ailments that must be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment program, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
