There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Wyoming to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that must be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help should find a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
