There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Madison Heights to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that must be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
