There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in St. Marys to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
