There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Craig to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for help should find a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
