There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Two Harbors 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 stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an 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 psychological health issues that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
