There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Unalaska to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that should be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted 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 unique needs of the senior.
