There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Superior to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors often have other physical and psychological health issues that should be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment should find a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, and 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 very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
