There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Monticello to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment center, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
