There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Rock Springs to receive help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that should be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
