There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Sparta to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for help should find a rehab program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
