There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Thoreau to receive professional 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 healthy as possible. The most common 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 prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment should find a rehab program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
