There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Mackinaw City to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, 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 first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
