There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Palmer to get help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that must be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for help look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
