There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Ponca City to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often have other physical and mental health ailments that should be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for help look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
