There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Caldwell to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment center, 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 complete evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
