There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Durango to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences 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 at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that should be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment center, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
