There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Oscoda to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete assessment 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 in the first place. A complete recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
