There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Fowlerville to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that seniors often have other physical and psychological health ailments that must be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, and a 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 conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
