There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in American Fork to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and mental health conditions that must be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for addiction help should find a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
