There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Altus to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and a medically 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 comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
