There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Walnut Ridge to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that should be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for help should find a rehab program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
