There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Crookston to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help should find a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
