There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Guthrie to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health issues that should be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
