There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Soldotna to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that should be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
