There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Rice Lake to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically 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 addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often have other physical and psychological health ailments that must be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment program, and a medically safe detoxification 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 thorough evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
