There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Sand Springs to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
