There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Choctaw to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for help should find a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
