There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Deerfield to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent 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 at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that should be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
