There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Linthicum Heights to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
