There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Laveen to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that should be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for help should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, and a medically 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 evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
