There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in West Plains to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder 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, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
