There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Spanish Fork to get help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that seniors often have other physical and mental health conditions that must be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment should find a rehab program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
