There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Juneau to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest 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 addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that should be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation center, where 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 evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
