There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Iron River to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often have other physical and mental health ailments that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for treatment should find a rehab program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on 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 performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
