There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Morrilton to receive help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors often have other physical and mental health conditions that should be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
