There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in St. Michael to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment look for a rehab program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
