There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in New Martinsville 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 stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that should be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment 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 addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, 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 complete evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
