There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Fredericktown to receive 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 healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health conditions that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, where a safe detoxification 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 complete evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
