There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Shelbyville to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
