There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Elberta 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 problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often have other physical and mental health conditions that must be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
