There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Pratt to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that seniors often have other physical and psychological health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
