There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Westlake 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 common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that should be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
