There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Eldorado to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment program, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
