There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Mena to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health conditions that should be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
