There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Wauchula to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health ailments that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help should find a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
