There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in La Junta 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 alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
