There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Powell to get help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that should be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for help should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
