There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Marion to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives 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 cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that must be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery 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 first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
