There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Valparaiso to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often have other physical and mental health issues that must be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
