There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Granby 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 healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues 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 at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often have other physical and psychological health conditions that should be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
