There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Springfield to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for help look for a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive evaluation 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 complete recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
