There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in East Grand Forks to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that must be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, where a medically safe detox 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 complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
