There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Emporia to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health ailments that must be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
