There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Enterprise to get professional 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 stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
