There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Taos to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that must be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, and a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
