There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Paola to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that seniors often suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
