There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Maquoketa to receive help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that must be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for treatment should find a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental 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 recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
