There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Pawhuska to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health issues that should be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
