There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Orem 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 physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and mental health ailments that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
