There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Marana to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often have other physical and mental health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
