There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Nome to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse 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 the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that must be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment center, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
