There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Palestine to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health ailments that should be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
