There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Ionia to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that must be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
