There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Luverne to receive 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 addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse 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 coupled with the reality that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health ailments that must be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
