There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Sandy 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 stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for help look for a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment 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 very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
