There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Minnetonka to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for help look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
