There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Naalehu to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health issues that must be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for help look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment program, 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 very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
