There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Madison to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
