There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Sundance to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, 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 suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that must be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
