There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Payson to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for help look for a facility that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detoxification 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 mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
