There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Laurel to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse 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 treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment should find a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, and a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
