There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Wayne 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 healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism 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 treacherous combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health ailments that should be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
