There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Fort Scott to receive help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that must be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for help look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
