There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Avondale to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that should be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment should find a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
