There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Windom to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that seniors often suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
