There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Monticello to get help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that seniors often have other physical and psychological health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for help look for a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
