There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Bishop to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for help look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
