There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Ballwin to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for help should find a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause 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.
