There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Snowflake to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
