There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Oconto to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for help look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
