There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Isle St. George to receive help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that must be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
