There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Shawnee to get help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often 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.
