There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Welch to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that seniors often have other physical and mental health conditions that should be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detoxification 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 psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
