There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Cortez to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health issues that should be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a rehab program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
