There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Spirit Lake to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that should be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior 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 health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
