There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Johnson to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
