There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Dodge City to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. 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 commonly suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior 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 conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
