There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Priest River to receive help for addiction so that they can live 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 issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that should be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for help should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
