There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Pueblo to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often have other physical and mental health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment center, and a medically safe detoxification 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 health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
