There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Sierra Vista to receive help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable 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 at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often have other physical and mental health conditions that must be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
