There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Elma to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live 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 alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health ailments that must be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
