There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Tooele to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that should be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
