There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Gwynn Oak to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that should be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
