There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Carbondale to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues 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 simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health issues that should be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
