There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Effingham to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that should be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for help should find a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide 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 successful in a residential treatment facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
