There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Leavenworth to receive treatment 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 addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often have other physical and mental health conditions that should be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for help look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment program, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological 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. An effective recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
