There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Union to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as 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 often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
