There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Palmer to get professional 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 issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that must be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for help look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
