There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Blythe to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often have other physical and mental health ailments that should be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
