There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Artesia to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for help should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
