There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Shell Lake to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health ailments that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help look for a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
