There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Port Heiden to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for treatment should find a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
