There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Lawrence to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that should be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment should find a rehab program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
