There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Waverly to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that must be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
