There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Sharon to get 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 coupled with the reality that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for help look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
