There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Blanding to receive help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often have other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for help should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
