There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Pontiac to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for help look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
