There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Paducah to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health issues that should be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
