There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Palmer 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 physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health ailments that must be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
