There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Elm Grove to receive help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that must be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for treatment should find a rehab program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment center, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
