There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Rolla to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that must be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
