There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Sioux City to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for help should find a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
