There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Dillingham to get help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help should find a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive 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 commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
