There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Paragould to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
