There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Wichita to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically 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 abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that should be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for help look for a facility that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, and a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
