There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Fort Shafter to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that seniors often have other physical and mental health ailments that must be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for help look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and a 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 first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
