There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Guymon to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for help should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
