There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Homestead to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health conditions that should be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for addiction help should find a rehab program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
