There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Joplin to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for help should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, and a medically safe detoxification 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 evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
