There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Prairie Du Sac to get 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 stable as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that must be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for help look for a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
