There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Dawson to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, where 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 first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
