There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Walloon Lake to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often have other physical and mental health ailments that should be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, and a medically 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 evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
