There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Ottumwa to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for help look for a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment program, and a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
