There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Ames to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment 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 prepared to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
