There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Macatawa to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable 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 addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that should be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for help should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
