There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Metz to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that should be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment center, where a medically 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 assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
