There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Spooner to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that must be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person 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 conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
