There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Butler to get help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences 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 simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and psychological health issues that must be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for help should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
