There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Marlinton to receive treatment 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 addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that seniors often have other physical and mental health issues that should be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to 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 in the first place. An effective recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
