There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Afton to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that should be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
