There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Eufaula to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems 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 deadly combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and mental health issues that should be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription 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 mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often 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.
