There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Hannibal to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
