There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Cresco 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 physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health issues that should be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause 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.
