There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Frankfort to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health issues that must be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment should find a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide 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 an inpatient treatment center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
