There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Albert Lea to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that seniors often have other physical and mental health conditions that must be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
