There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Madison to receive professional 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 common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that should be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help should find a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
