There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Johnston 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 prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health ailments that should be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help look for a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detox 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 psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
