There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Edgewood to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for help look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
