There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Kailua Kona to get help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health issues that should be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
