There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Westland to receive help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that must be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
