There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Island Falls to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detox 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 complete evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
