There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Woonsocket to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that must be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological 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. An effective recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
