There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Le Mars to receive help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that seniors often have other physical and mental health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
