There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Punta Gorda to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy 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 abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
