There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Park City to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems 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 simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that should be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
