There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Bel Air to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
