There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Carson City to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
