There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Watertown to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest 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 addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health issues that should be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for addiction help look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
