There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Raton to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment program, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
