There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Sedona to receive professional help 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 abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health 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 recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
