There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Pretty Prairie to get professional 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 stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health ailments that should be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
