There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Logan to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues 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 simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health ailments that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment center, 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 very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
