There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Hot Springs National Park to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest 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 abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that should be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
