There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Wauseon to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often have other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, 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 unique needs of the senior.
