There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Leonardtown to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent 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 combined with the reality that seniors often have other physical and psychological health issues that should be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for addiction help should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
