There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Kings Mills to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that seniors often have other physical and psychological health ailments that should be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, where 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 first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
