There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Shakopee to get professional 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 healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help should find a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment program, where a medically safe detoxification 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 complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
