There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in St. Cloud to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
