There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Estherville to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that must be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for addiction help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment program, where a 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 very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
