There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Portage to get treatment 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 prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that seniors often suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment should find a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation 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 in the first place. An effective recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
