There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Norman to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for help should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
