There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Perry Point to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and psychological health ailments that must be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for help look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
