There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Sayre 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 substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that must be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for help look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
