There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Vero Beach to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that must be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment program, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
