There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Prescott to get help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and mental health conditions that should be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, and a 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 first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
