There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Burley to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that must be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
