There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Bangor to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for treatment should find a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
