There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Shawnee Mission to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person 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 driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
