There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Cairo to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that should be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for help should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
