There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Wynne to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
