There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in New Vienna to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that must be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete 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 commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
