There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Owensboro to receive help 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 prevalent addiction problems 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 dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that must be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
