There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Canon City to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that should be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment program, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
