There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Knox to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues 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.
