There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Manitowish Waters to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that seniors often have other physical and psychological health conditions that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment center, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
