There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Westminster to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health ailments that should be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
