There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Gillette to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
