There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Owatonna to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
