There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Sebring to receive 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 healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that should be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for help should find a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
