There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in El Dorado Springs to receive treatment 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 substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that seniors often have other physical and mental health ailments that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
