There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Keokuk to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that should be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a 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 evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, 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.
