There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Kernersville to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, and a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
