There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Rigby to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health ailments that should be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
