There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Topeka to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, and a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
