There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Quincy to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that should be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for help should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
