There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Pasco to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
