There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Lake Elmo to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that should be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
