There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Onawa to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
