There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Leadville to get help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often have other physical and mental health issues that should be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
