There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Oskaloosa to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
