There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Seminole to get help for addiction so that they can live the remainder 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 abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for help should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
