There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Valdez to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health 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 evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
