There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Gaithersburg 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 substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that should be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help should find a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
