There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Klawock to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy 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 problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that must be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for help should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
