There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Clayton to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that seniors often have other physical and psychological health issues that should be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
