There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Gilbert to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that seniors often have other physical and mental health issues that must be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
