There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Rockville to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and a medically 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 assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
