There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Onalaska to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy 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 addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that should be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for 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 addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
