There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Santa Fe to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled 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 action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
