There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Enid to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health conditions that must be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
