There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Salina to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for help should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
