There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Aiea to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
