There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Big Timber to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often have other physical and mental health issues that must be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
