There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Holualoa to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that must be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any 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 mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
