There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Paxton to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and psychological health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
