There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Beckley to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that should be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help should find a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, where 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 thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
