There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Trout Lake to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that must be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
