There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in St. George to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often have other physical and mental health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help should find a rehab program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
