There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Pontiac to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a safe detox 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 complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
