There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Shawano to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that should be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
