There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Leawood to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
