There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Golconda to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. 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 coupled with the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for treatment should find a facility that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment program, where 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 complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
