There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Fairmont to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that should be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for addiction help should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
