There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Springerville to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that must be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for addiction help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
