There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Page to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and psychological health conditions that must be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help should find a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
