There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Paradise Valley to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that should be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
