There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Fort Dodge to receive help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often have other physical and mental health ailments that should be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior 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 handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
