There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Iuka to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a rehab program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, and a 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 comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
