There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Othello to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health conditions that should be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
