There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Hagerstown to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that should be handled 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 specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment 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 on can be performed as the very first step. A thorough evaluation 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 driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
