There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Cheyenne to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined 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 treatment should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
