There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Inver Grove Heights to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment look for a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force 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.
