There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Yakutat to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help should find a program 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 elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
