There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Carroll to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that must be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for help look for a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
