There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Alma to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder 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, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for help look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, and 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 first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
