There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Sandwich to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that must be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation center, where a 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 conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
