There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Tahlequah to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
