There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Clinton to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that should be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
