There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Gallup to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues 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 simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that must be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help should find a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
