There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Springfield to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that should be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
