There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Wood River to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse 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 treacherous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that should be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a rehab program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
