There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Wailuku to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable 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 dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation center, and a medically safe detox 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 thorough evaluation of both physical and mental health 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 in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
