There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Alpena to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that should be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
