There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Elkhorn to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
