There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Orofino to receive help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an 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 struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for help should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on 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 handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
