There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Fort Yukon to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and mental health issues that should be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment center, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
