There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Tomahawk to receive help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often have other physical and mental health ailments that must be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for help look for a facility that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment center, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
