There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Fond Du Lac to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that seniors often have other physical and psychological health issues that should be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
