There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Kansas City to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
