There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Silver City to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health issues that should be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for addiction help look for a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
