There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Elk City to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for help look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
