There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Kalispell to get help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, and 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 thorough evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
